Interim class presents
'Pirates of Penzance'
by Janis Johnson
"It's a light and fun musi-cal,"
said Jeff Miller about the
interim theatre production.
"Pirates of Penzance" is a
Gilbert and Sullivan operetta,
a spoof on operas. It is writ-ten
in opera style but the
words of the songs are humor-ous.
"There is hardly a moment
where the words or notes are
not funny," said Krista Palm-quist,
who plays Mabel, a
leading part.
"Pirates of Penzance" is a
two-act production with ap-proximately
99 per cent sing-ing,
according to Miller.
"It is more challenging mu-sically
than most (produc-tions),"
said Miller. "The leads
have to have good vocal
training."
The production, which is
an interim class, gives stu-dents
a chance to receive in-struction
and coaching in the
art of musical theatre and all
phases of putting together a
show. Students participate in
rehearsals, costuming, set de-sign
and building, and man-aging.
Auditions for the singing
roles were held a week before
interim registration. At last
count 40 were registered. Ac-cording
to Miller, about one
third of the class is music
majors, and one third is thea=
tre majors.
Those with lead roles began
work in early November with
Gerry Sundberg, assistant
professor of music. He is also
working with the chorus. Stu-dents
with lead parts were
expected to have the first act
memorized by the first day of
class. They will spend most
of their class time rehearsing
and the chorus will spend
about half their time building
sets, gathering props, and
working in the box office.
The class requires 40 hours
a week, three sessions a day.
The evening sessions are
mainly rehearsals.
The musical begins with
Frederic, the protaganist, mis-takenly
bound in an appren-ticehsip
to a pirate instead of
a pilot (ship navigator). He is
not allowed to leave at the age
of twenty-one because his
birthday falls on leap year.
"Pirates of Penzance" will
be presented at 8 p.m. on Jan.
21-22 and at 2 p.m., Jan. 22.

With the depressing state
of the economy, seniors and
other job-seekers are exper-iencing
nagging feelings of
doubt and insecurity about
the future.
If the statistics of Bethel's
1982 graduates are anything
to go by, things look rather
bleak. Of the 344 graduates,
222 have informed the place-ment
office of their employ-ment
status. Of these 222, 163
graduates have found work.
That means that over one-third
of those reporting are
still unemployed. Of those
people who are employed,
some are not working in their
chosen field.
"Some are doing things like
said Wright.
To better prepare for find-ing
a job once out of college,
Wright advises students to
take on an internship. "What
it adds up to is getting exper-ience,"
said Wright. "The only
problem is that it's volunteer
and you have to use your
time."
Paul Redin, director of ca-reer
counseling and place-ment,
added a little optimism
to this otherwise sad-looking
situation. He said that with

Recruiting season is just
nearing its peak in January.
In expectation of next year's
freshman class, the Admis-sions
Office has scheduled
two events for this month.
One of the biggest events of
the year, the Basketball Bash,
is scheduled for Saturday, Jan.
15th. About 200 prospective
students are expected to at-tend
the event which will fea-ture
the Bethel vs. Gustavus
basketball game and a pizza
party.
According to Cheryl Staur-seth,
admissions counselor,
the Basketball Bash is pri-the
economy down, there are
a large number of people out
of work, but there are jobs out
there. He said that the person
who knows how to get a job
can get one.
"If you can develop an ef-fective
job compaign and sell
yourself well, then the prob-lem
wil be minimized," said
Redin.
In terms of our office, that
is how we can help," said
Redin. "We can teach a stu-dent
how to get a job."
marily intended to be 'a "fun
time for the prospective stu-dents."
Staurseth adds, "We
want them to get some expo-sure
to Bethel and to get an
idea of what college social life
is like."
The other event planned for
January is Parents' Informa-tion
Night which will be held
on Jan. 20. This night is prim-arily
designed to acquaint the
parents of prospective stu-dents
with Bethel and to give
them information about finan-cial
aid. Staurseth says that
there has been a tremendous
response to Parents' Informa-tion
Night and she expects it
to be very helpful to the
parents.

Wright, placement secretary.
"They are just earning their
keep until they can find some-thing
they really want to do."
According to Wright, there
are not any fields that are
wide open, but some look
more promising than others.
"In the education department
last year, the ones that got
placed were the math majors
but that may change this
year," said Wright.
There are definitely fields
that one would not want to
enter at this time," said
Wright. She said that the
majors like anthropology and
linguistics are closing down.
"Those obscure fields are
what- get closed down first
when the economy is bad,"

editorial
Success achieved
one step at a time
Another year has just begun. Many of us think of it as a
time for new beginnings, a chance to start fresh, and a time
to set new goals. We want to do better academically. We
want to get our bodies into better shape physically. We
want to improve our Christian walk. We want to get along
better with our roommates or family. There are a lot of
things that we want to do; the question is "How?"
We often set these goals before us and think of them only
in terms of meeting them in one big step. For most long-term
goals we have difficulty doing this. We are not getting 'A's
on our papers. We have not mastered the four-minute mile
or lost that extra weight. We are not suddenly a master of
spiritual solutions for life's everyday problems. We are still
impatient with our friends.
The attainment of long-term goals is not one easy step. We
need to reach our long-range goals by first meeting short-term
goals. We need to begin by putting in the time and
effort to raise a grade. We may set weekly or even daily
goals for what we want to accomplish physically. We have
to seek God's guidance in the little decisions we make today.
We need to go the extra mile if that is what it takes to bring
about a change in our relationships with others.
Short-range goals are the means to achieving long-range
goals. We need to set a goal that is possible to reach, though
it may be tough. Trying always to meet long-range goals can
become discouraging. Take them in short steps. One small
step at a time.

Unfairness
`chagrines'
conductor
To the editor:
I was horrified to learn from
your Dec. 3 Clarion that one
of my colleagues is discrimi-nating
against the women in
the band by virtue of the
required dress.
I am further chagrined to
discover that I am also guilty
of this serious offense. In fact,
I am much worse because our
dresses cost $50-$60 to make.
I'm not sure what my band
director colleague will do to
resolve this dilemma but next
year I will check out tuxedos
to both the men and women.
(The following year both men
and women will make their
own dresses.) This will give
me the appearance I desire for
the choir only on alternating
years rather than each year as
at present. I'm indebted to the
Activist Group IV for calling
this to our attention.

Bethel fields men's v-ball team events
by Mike Doran
After two good showings
in its first pair of tourna-ments
the Bethel United
States Volleyball Association
(USVBA) team plays in its
third tourney Jan. 22.
Although the team is not
sponsored by Bethel, it prac-tices
in the Bethel gym, it is
mbb, from page 4
MIAC in 1978 and had a rec-ord
of 0-10 against the school
from Collegeville heading into
the game.
The Royals got off slowly
against St. Johns in the first
half but a late burst in the half
keyed by guard Billy Lawson
and forward Dion Wolter, who
had 16 points in the half, put
Bethel on top 38-35 at the
half's end.
Bethel continued to play
well in the second half and
pushed its lead up to 10 points,
but the Johnnies whittled
away at the Royal advantage
finally cutting the deficit to
one point with 23 seconds to
go. That was as close as St.
Johns could get and Bethel
had finally broken the John-nie
jinx.
Wolter and Jason Velgers-dyk
led Bethel with 19 points
apiece, while Lawson had 16
points to go along with ,his
five assists.
While the Royals were in
control of much of their con-test
with St. Johns, they never
had that luxury against Mac-alester
as the Scots gave
Bethel a scare it won't soon
forget.
Clutch shooting down the
stretch enabled the Royals to
hold off a determined Scottie
squad. A double-pump jump-er
by Lawson gave Bethel a
one-point lead with 1:00 left
in the game but Mac came
back to score with 18 seconds
to take the lead once again.

Book, Bethel's women's vol-leyball
coach.
The USVBA consists of
teams sponsored by compan-ies
such as IBM, by restau-rants
and bars. The teams are
separated into three levels:
AA, A, and B. Book said that
The Royals decided against
calling a timeout to set up a
play and took the ball down
the court with Mike Hanley
drilling a 15-foot jumper to
put Bethel back on top.
A swarming Royal defense
kept the Scots from getting
off a shot in the final seconds
and Bethel had its longest win
streak in three years.
Four players finished in
double figures for Bethel with
Hanley leading the way with
15 points.
Dwayne Nordstrom chipped
in with 12 points and Wolter
and Lawson had 11 apiece.
Lawson also had 12 assists in
the game—just one off the
school record.
Palke had little trouble find-ing
the reason for the Royal
success this season as op-posed
to last year's 6- 10 con-ference
season with nearly
the same team.
"The biggest single thing is
that we're playing together
and the players understand
their role and they're doing
it," he said. With everybody
contributing they (opponents)
can't concentrate on one per-son
and expect to stop us."
Bethel will be working to
improve its conference record
as the Royals take on Gusta-vus
Saturday at home and
travel to St. Olaf on Wednes-day
to play the Oles. Both
games are scheduled to start
at 7:30 p.m.

team are Tim Tillman and

Bethel grads. Loren's brother,

Fisher are some of the players
currently attending Bethel
who play on the team.

Iverson dished out
eight assists and Sue Duehn
pumped in 14 points and
nabbed six steals on defense.
"I don't feel we've peaked
yet," she said. "I feel that
there's some work to be done.
Our rebounding could be
stronger and our outside of-fensive
game could be strong-er
than it is now."
A team doesn't get to be 6-1
without a few strong points,
however.
"Our strength has been in
our defense and our full-court
pressure," Bjorklund added.
"The inside game and our fast-break
have been pretty strong
too."
Bethel's fast start hasn't
allowed Bjorklund to become
overly confident as a tough
conference schedule still lies
ahead for her team.
"We're looking at tougher
games coming up," she said.
"The top teams from the past
have stayed pretty much the
same whereas the bottom
teams have improved, so the
conference should be close."

`Injury-riddled' Royals
finish fifth at invitational
by Rich Whybrew
An injury-riddled Bethel
wrestling team began its "sec-ond
season" with a fifth place
finish at the Terry Haws Invi-tational
Jan. 8 at St. John's.
"We could have easily fin-ished
third," commented Dave
Klostreich, head coach. "But
we lost four (out of nine) start-ers
after the first round to
injuries."
Those four wrestlers were
Jim Sloan, who suffered an
injury in his first match at
118 lbs. and was unable to
continue, John Snyder was
unable to shake off the effects
of a cold and could not breath
during his match. Ben
McEachern sprained an ankle
and Rodger Sullivan was dis-abled
by a rib injury.
Three Bethel wrestlers who
did continue placed very
highly in the meet. Jim Krier
pinned his first two oppo-nents
before being beaten by
last year's state champion
Steve Gliva of UMD. Krier's
second-place finish was sup-ported
by Barry Ahltsen, who
finished second at 177 lbs.
Mike Heldman was the final
Bethel wrestler to place, corn-ing
in fourth at 134 lbs.
"The kids wrestled hard and
with a lot of heart," said Klos-treich:
"We should be able to
draw on our depth in the
middle weights to replace the
injured. Some of those guys
should be ready to come back
soon anyway."
One wrestler the Royals
will have to replace is senior
co-captian Russ Reynolds.
Reynolds, an NCAA and
NAIA national qualifier in
past seasons had not been
wrestling in meets before
Christmas with the hope that
an injured knee would have
time to heal.
However, the knee was re-injured
in the first couple of
days after Reynolds returned
from the Christmas break and
he will be out for the season.
"That's really bad news for
us," said Klostreich. "Russ
didn't even get a chance to get
out on the mats and now it's
over for him."
The team continues this sea-son
with a meet at Concordia-
St. Paul Tuesday, Jan. 11, and
a meet against St. Olaf, Sat-urday,
-Jan. 22 at noon in
Northfield.
by John Lilleberg
After a somewhat slow
start the Royal hockey team
appears ready to make a run
at the conference title. The
team has been red-hot of late,
winning four of its last five
games.
The Royals improved their
conference record to 3-4 with
a weekend sweep of the Con-cordia
Cobbers who came
down for a two-game series.
The Royals rose to the oc-casion
with a pair of impres-sive
victories over the Cob-bers.
The first game was a
stunning display of overall
talent as the Royals won by a
7- 3 score. Bethel goals were
scored by Jeff Schaber (who
scored twice), Keith Substad,
Eric Bottila, Steve Ries, Jim
Laporte and Scott Dahlstrom.
The second game was per-haps
less intense than the
first but fine play by Bethel
resulted in a 9-4 victory. Scor-ing
for Bethel were Laporte
and Schaber (each with two
goals), Substad, Dahlstrom,
Rob Skanse, Dave Palmquist
and Peter Dahl.
The Concordia series was
summed up by Schaber, who
had four goals against the
Cobbers, "It was a big series
for us. It was good to win
both games . . . . Friday's
game was especially good be-cause
we played well the
whole game."
Bethel's winning spree be-gan
in Winona where the
Royals battled St. Mary's, the
Zamboni and long delays in
the game to come out on top.
The delays were causes by
problems with the Zamboni
in the new Winona arena.
Bethel overcame the delays
and won 2- 1 on goals by Scott
Prigge and Jon Abrahamson.
Due to the long delays in
the St. Mary's game the team
did not arrive home until 3:30
a.m. They were physically run
down the next afternoon
against St. Thomas. This
proved to be a major factor as
the Royals lost 2- 1 to the
Tommies with the Royals only
goal coming from Gary Shi-browski.
The next game against the
University of Alaska-Fair-banks
marked a turnaround
in Bethel's fortunes. With the
Royals down 4- 1 early in the
game, the powerful Bethel of-fense
began to click. And once
the Royal offense got in gear
they couldn't be stopped as
Bethel skated off with a 7- 5
win over the UAF Nanooks.
Tonight the Royals face St.
Mary's at 7:45 p.m. at Colum-bia
Arena in Fridley.
Royal roundball squads stretch victory streaks
Men sweep MIAC foes
by John Clark
Consistency and cohesion are two keys to
success in any sport so the Bethel men's bas-ketball
team's six-game win streak can be
attributed to the combination of those two
factors.
With consistency in the backcourt and
frontcourt and cohesion that comes from
understanding each other's team responsi-bilities
the Royals have established them-selves
as a force to be reckoned with in the
MIAC-conference race.
In picking up two conference wins Bethel
pushed its season record to 8- 5 and 3 - 1 in the
MIAC, good enough for second place in the
standings. Bethel's first win of the week, a
73- 71 triumph over St. Johns on Jan. 6, ended
a five-year jinx against the Johnnies and the
second on Jan. 9, a 65-64 win over Macales-ter,
showed the Royals can play under pres-sure
on the road.
"The best thing about our game is every-one
is playing well together," said Coach
George Palke. "Everybody playing is con-tributing—
that is the key."
It took contribution from everyone for
Bethel to defeat St. Johns. The Royals hadn't
beaten the Johnnies since they joined the
mbb, see page 3
Women win skein at five
by John Clark
The Bethel women's basketball team has
wasted no time getting going this season, in
fact the season is basically a continuation of
last year when the Royals finished on a
strong note.
That momentum carried over into this
new season has resulted in a 6- 1 record for
the Royals and a five-game win streak.
Apparently, a three-week layoff from games
had little effect on the Royals as a 78- 31 win
over Trinity on Jan. 5 and 78-65 triumph over
Dr. Martin Luther College on Jan. 8 will
attest.
Bethel had no trouble disposing of Trinity
maintaining a 30-40 point lead throughout
the contest as first-year Royal coach Vonda
Bjorklund was able to substitute at will.
Against DMLC, however, Bethel had to
wait until the final minutes before it could
pull away. Karen Almeroth in the post and
Lisa Iverson at the point paced Bethel offen-sively
as they tallied 17 and 16 points respec-tively
against DMLC.
"We finally collected our poise and pulled
it-out," said Bjorklund of the DMLC contest.
"We controlled the momentum at the end and
were able to pull away."

"Pirates of Penzance" is a spoof operetta presented by a Bethel interim class. Performances will be given at
8:00 p.m. Jan 21-22 and at 2:00 p.m. Jan. 22. Velie/photo
Interim class presents
'Pirates of Penzance'
by Janis Johnson
"It's a light and fun musi-cal,"
said Jeff Miller about the
interim theatre production.
"Pirates of Penzance" is a
Gilbert and Sullivan operetta,
a spoof on operas. It is writ-ten
in opera style but the
words of the songs are humor-ous.
"There is hardly a moment
where the words or notes are
not funny," said Krista Palm-quist,
who plays Mabel, a
leading part.
"Pirates of Penzance" is a
two-act production with ap-proximately
99 per cent sing-ing,
according to Miller.
"It is more challenging mu-sically
than most (produc-tions),"
said Miller. "The leads
have to have good vocal
training."
The production, which is
an interim class, gives stu-dents
a chance to receive in-struction
and coaching in the
art of musical theatre and all
phases of putting together a
show. Students participate in
rehearsals, costuming, set de-sign
and building, and man-aging.
Auditions for the singing
roles were held a week before
interim registration. At last
count 40 were registered. Ac-cording
to Miller, about one
third of the class is music
majors, and one third is thea=
tre majors.
Those with lead roles began
work in early November with
Gerry Sundberg, assistant
professor of music. He is also
working with the chorus. Stu-dents
with lead parts were
expected to have the first act
memorized by the first day of
class. They will spend most
of their class time rehearsing
and the chorus will spend
about half their time building
sets, gathering props, and
working in the box office.
The class requires 40 hours
a week, three sessions a day.
The evening sessions are
mainly rehearsals.
The musical begins with
Frederic, the protaganist, mis-takenly
bound in an appren-ticehsip
to a pirate instead of
a pilot (ship navigator). He is
not allowed to leave at the age
of twenty-one because his
birthday falls on leap year.
"Pirates of Penzance" will
be presented at 8 p.m. on Jan.
21-22 and at 2 p.m., Jan. 22.

With the depressing state
of the economy, seniors and
other job-seekers are exper-iencing
nagging feelings of
doubt and insecurity about
the future.
If the statistics of Bethel's
1982 graduates are anything
to go by, things look rather
bleak. Of the 344 graduates,
222 have informed the place-ment
office of their employ-ment
status. Of these 222, 163
graduates have found work.
That means that over one-third
of those reporting are
still unemployed. Of those
people who are employed,
some are not working in their
chosen field.
"Some are doing things like
said Wright.
To better prepare for find-ing
a job once out of college,
Wright advises students to
take on an internship. "What
it adds up to is getting exper-ience,"
said Wright. "The only
problem is that it's volunteer
and you have to use your
time."
Paul Redin, director of ca-reer
counseling and place-ment,
added a little optimism
to this otherwise sad-looking
situation. He said that with

Recruiting season is just
nearing its peak in January.
In expectation of next year's
freshman class, the Admis-sions
Office has scheduled
two events for this month.
One of the biggest events of
the year, the Basketball Bash,
is scheduled for Saturday, Jan.
15th. About 200 prospective
students are expected to at-tend
the event which will fea-ture
the Bethel vs. Gustavus
basketball game and a pizza
party.
According to Cheryl Staur-seth,
admissions counselor,
the Basketball Bash is pri-the
economy down, there are
a large number of people out
of work, but there are jobs out
there. He said that the person
who knows how to get a job
can get one.
"If you can develop an ef-fective

yourself well, then the prob-lem
wil be minimized," said
Redin.
In terms of our office, that
is how we can help," said
Redin. "We can teach a stu-dent

marily intended to be 'a "fun
time for the prospective stu-dents."
Staurseth adds, "We
want them to get some expo-sure
to Bethel and to get an
idea of what college social life
is like."
The other event planned for
January is Parents' Informa-tion
Night which will be held
on Jan. 20. This night is prim-arily
designed to acquaint the
parents of prospective stu-dents
with Bethel and to give
them information about finan-cial
aid. Staurseth says that
there has been a tremendous
response to Parents' Informa-tion
Night and she expects it
to be very helpful to the
parents.

Wright, placement secretary.
"They are just earning their
keep until they can find some-thing
they really want to do."
According to Wright, there
are not any fields that are
wide open, but some look
more promising than others.
"In the education department
last year, the ones that got
placed were the math majors
but that may change this
year," said Wright.
There are definitely fields
that one would not want to
enter at this time," said
Wright. She said that the
majors like anthropology and
linguistics are closing down.
"Those obscure fields are
what- get closed down first
when the economy is bad,"

editorial
Success achieved
one step at a time
Another year has just begun. Many of us think of it as a
time for new beginnings, a chance to start fresh, and a time
to set new goals. We want to do better academically. We
want to get our bodies into better shape physically. We
want to improve our Christian walk. We want to get along
better with our roommates or family. There are a lot of
things that we want to do; the question is "How?"
We often set these goals before us and think of them only
in terms of meeting them in one big step. For most long-term
goals we have difficulty doing this. We are not getting 'A's
on our papers. We have not mastered the four-minute mile
or lost that extra weight. We are not suddenly a master of
spiritual solutions for life's everyday problems. We are still
impatient with our friends.
The attainment of long-term goals is not one easy step. We
need to reach our long-range goals by first meeting short-term
goals. We need to begin by putting in the time and
effort to raise a grade. We may set weekly or even daily
goals for what we want to accomplish physically. We have
to seek God's guidance in the little decisions we make today.
We need to go the extra mile if that is what it takes to bring
about a change in our relationships with others.
Short-range goals are the means to achieving long-range
goals. We need to set a goal that is possible to reach, though
it may be tough. Trying always to meet long-range goals can
become discouraging. Take them in short steps. One small
step at a time.

Unfairness
`chagrines'
conductor
To the editor:
I was horrified to learn from
your Dec. 3 Clarion that one
of my colleagues is discrimi-nating
against the women in
the band by virtue of the
required dress.
I am further chagrined to
discover that I am also guilty
of this serious offense. In fact,
I am much worse because our
dresses cost $50-$60 to make.
I'm not sure what my band
director colleague will do to
resolve this dilemma but next
year I will check out tuxedos
to both the men and women.
(The following year both men
and women will make their
own dresses.) This will give
me the appearance I desire for
the choir only on alternating
years rather than each year as
at present. I'm indebted to the
Activist Group IV for calling
this to our attention.

Bethel fields men's v-ball team events
by Mike Doran
After two good showings
in its first pair of tourna-ments
the Bethel United
States Volleyball Association
(USVBA) team plays in its
third tourney Jan. 22.
Although the team is not
sponsored by Bethel, it prac-tices
in the Bethel gym, it is
mbb, from page 4
MIAC in 1978 and had a rec-ord
of 0-10 against the school
from Collegeville heading into
the game.
The Royals got off slowly
against St. Johns in the first
half but a late burst in the half
keyed by guard Billy Lawson
and forward Dion Wolter, who
had 16 points in the half, put
Bethel on top 38-35 at the
half's end.
Bethel continued to play
well in the second half and
pushed its lead up to 10 points,
but the Johnnies whittled
away at the Royal advantage
finally cutting the deficit to
one point with 23 seconds to
go. That was as close as St.
Johns could get and Bethel
had finally broken the John-nie
jinx.
Wolter and Jason Velgers-dyk
led Bethel with 19 points
apiece, while Lawson had 16
points to go along with ,his
five assists.
While the Royals were in
control of much of their con-test
with St. Johns, they never
had that luxury against Mac-alester
as the Scots gave
Bethel a scare it won't soon
forget.
Clutch shooting down the
stretch enabled the Royals to
hold off a determined Scottie
squad. A double-pump jump-er
by Lawson gave Bethel a
one-point lead with 1:00 left
in the game but Mac came
back to score with 18 seconds
to take the lead once again.

Book, Bethel's women's vol-leyball

The USVBA consists of
teams sponsored by compan-ies
such as IBM, by restau-rants
and bars. The teams are
separated into three levels:
AA, A, and B. Book said that
The Royals decided against
calling a timeout to set up a
play and took the ball down
the court with Mike Hanley
drilling a 15-foot jumper to
put Bethel back on top.
A swarming Royal defense
kept the Scots from getting
off a shot in the final seconds
and Bethel had its longest win
streak in three years.
Four players finished in
double figures for Bethel with
Hanley leading the way with
15 points.
Dwayne Nordstrom chipped
in with 12 points and Wolter
and Lawson had 11 apiece.
Lawson also had 12 assists in
the game—just one off the
school record.
Palke had little trouble find-ing
the reason for the Royal
success this season as op-posed
to last year's 6- 10 con-ference
season with nearly
the same team.
"The biggest single thing is
that we're playing together
and the players understand
their role and they're doing
it," he said. With everybody
contributing they (opponents)
can't concentrate on one per-son
and expect to stop us."
Bethel will be working to
improve its conference record
as the Royals take on Gusta-vus
Saturday at home and
travel to St. Olaf on Wednes-day
to play the Oles. Both
games are scheduled to start

Iverson dished out

pumped in 14 points and
nabbed six steals on defense.
"I don't feel we've peaked
yet," she said. "I feel that
there's some work to be done.
Our rebounding could be
stronger and our outside of-fensive
game could be strong-er
than it is now."
A team doesn't get to be 6-1
without a few strong points,
however.
"Our strength has been in
our defense and our full-court
pressure," Bjorklund added.
"The inside game and our fast-break
have been pretty strong
too."
Bethel's fast start hasn't
allowed Bjorklund to become
overly confident as a tough
conference schedule still lies
ahead for her team.
"We're looking at tougher
games coming up," she said.
"The top teams from the past
have stayed pretty much the
same whereas the bottom
teams have improved, so the
conference should be close."

`Injury-riddled' Royals
finish fifth at invitational
by Rich Whybrew
An injury-riddled Bethel
wrestling team began its "sec-ond
season" with a fifth place
finish at the Terry Haws Invi-tational
Jan. 8 at St. John's.
"We could have easily fin-ished
third," commented Dave
Klostreich, head coach. "But
we lost four (out of nine) start-ers
after the first round to
injuries."
Those four wrestlers were
Jim Sloan, who suffered an
injury in his first match at
118 lbs. and was unable to
continue, John Snyder was
unable to shake off the effects
of a cold and could not breath
during his match. Ben
McEachern sprained an ankle
and Rodger Sullivan was dis-abled
by a rib injury.
Three Bethel wrestlers who
did continue placed very
highly in the meet. Jim Krier
pinned his first two oppo-nents
before being beaten by
last year's state champion
Steve Gliva of UMD. Krier's
second-place finish was sup-ported
by Barry Ahltsen, who
finished second at 177 lbs.
Mike Heldman was the final
Bethel wrestler to place, corn-ing
in fourth at 134 lbs.
"The kids wrestled hard and
with a lot of heart," said Klos-treich:
"We should be able to
draw on our depth in the
middle weights to replace the
injured. Some of those guys
should be ready to come back
soon anyway."
One wrestler the Royals
will have to replace is senior
co-captian Russ Reynolds.
Reynolds, an NCAA and
NAIA national qualifier in
past seasons had not been
wrestling in meets before
Christmas with the hope that
an injured knee would have
time to heal.
However, the knee was re-injured
in the first couple of
days after Reynolds returned
from the Christmas break and
he will be out for the season.
"That's really bad news for
us," said Klostreich. "Russ
didn't even get a chance to get
out on the mats and now it's
over for him."
The team continues this sea-son
with a meet at Concordia-
St. Paul Tuesday, Jan. 11, and
a meet against St. Olaf, Sat-urday,
-Jan. 22 at noon in
Northfield.
by John Lilleberg
After a somewhat slow
start the Royal hockey team
appears ready to make a run
at the conference title. The
team has been red-hot of late,
winning four of its last five
games.
The Royals improved their
conference record to 3-4 with
a weekend sweep of the Con-cordia
Cobbers who came
down for a two-game series.
The Royals rose to the oc-casion
with a pair of impres-sive
victories over the Cob-bers.
The first game was a
stunning display of overall
talent as the Royals won by a
7- 3 score. Bethel goals were
scored by Jeff Schaber (who
scored twice), Keith Substad,
Eric Bottila, Steve Ries, Jim
Laporte and Scott Dahlstrom.
The second game was per-haps
less intense than the
first but fine play by Bethel
resulted in a 9-4 victory. Scor-ing
for Bethel were Laporte
and Schaber (each with two
goals), Substad, Dahlstrom,
Rob Skanse, Dave Palmquist
and Peter Dahl.
The Concordia series was
summed up by Schaber, who
had four goals against the
Cobbers, "It was a big series
for us. It was good to win
both games . . . . Friday's
game was especially good be-cause
we played well the
whole game."
Bethel's winning spree be-gan
in Winona where the
Royals battled St. Mary's, the
Zamboni and long delays in
the game to come out on top.
The delays were causes by
problems with the Zamboni
in the new Winona arena.
Bethel overcame the delays
and won 2- 1 on goals by Scott
Prigge and Jon Abrahamson.
Due to the long delays in
the St. Mary's game the team
did not arrive home until 3:30
a.m. They were physically run
down the next afternoon
against St. Thomas. This
proved to be a major factor as
the Royals lost 2- 1 to the
Tommies with the Royals only
goal coming from Gary Shi-browski.
The next game against the
University of Alaska-Fair-banks
marked a turnaround
in Bethel's fortunes. With the
Royals down 4- 1 early in the
game, the powerful Bethel of-fense
began to click. And once
the Royal offense got in gear
they couldn't be stopped as
Bethel skated off with a 7- 5
win over the UAF Nanooks.
Tonight the Royals face St.
Mary's at 7:45 p.m. at Colum-bia
Arena in Fridley.
Royal roundball squads stretch victory streaks
Men sweep MIAC foes
by John Clark
Consistency and cohesion are two keys to
success in any sport so the Bethel men's bas-ketball
team's six-game win streak can be
attributed to the combination of those two
factors.
With consistency in the backcourt and
frontcourt and cohesion that comes from
understanding each other's team responsi-bilities
the Royals have established them-selves
as a force to be reckoned with in the
MIAC-conference race.
In picking up two conference wins Bethel
pushed its season record to 8- 5 and 3 - 1 in the
MIAC, good enough for second place in the
standings. Bethel's first win of the week, a
73- 71 triumph over St. Johns on Jan. 6, ended
a five-year jinx against the Johnnies and the
second on Jan. 9, a 65-64 win over Macales-ter,
showed the Royals can play under pres-sure
on the road.
"The best thing about our game is every-one
is playing well together," said Coach
